Version V9.7 of the Logical Disk utility can be installed on the
following VMS versions:

        OpenVMS Alpha:  V7.3-2
                        V8.2
                        V8.3
                        V8.4 and up

        OpenVMS IA64:   V8.2-1
                        V8.3
                        V8.3-1H1
                        V8.4 and up



Older versions will probably work, but this has not been tested.
This version is NOT supported on OpenVMS VAX, LD V8.3 is the
last version to support VAX. The reason is that LD makes heavy
use of 64-bit arithmetic and system services. For that reason
it will for certain not work on VMS versions below V7.0.

The utility and driver can be recreated from the sources provided
in the kit, which can be copied to disk during installation.
There's a procedure to build the facility (LD_BUILD.COM).

A couple of example commandfiles are provided during installition
in SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.LD]. If selected during installation
the sources will be placed in SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.LD.SRC].

Help can be obtained by entering $ HELP LD (or $ LD HELP).

V9.7 has the following bug fixes:

If a containerfile for a virtual tape resided on a disk controlled
by SYS$DQDRIVER (IDE disk, Alpha only) then the system could hang
when connecting the container file.

If the system has no allocation class specified, and the system name
ended in LD then LD SHOW/ALL or LD DISCONNECT/ALL would give an error
when it selected the wrong device.
